경복궁의 야경

After 615 years, Gyeongbok Palace finally open its gate at night for the first time. Thanks to the G20 summit, the palace closing time is extended from 5pm -10pm for four days from 9-12 Nov. A chance to witness a view of Gyeongbok Palace never seen before, drew huge crowd of curious visitors and photographers.
